High efficiency, dense small droplets... tropical characteristics. Yea I think thats going to be common theme in this high PWAT airmass.

But not death by dews it actually could be uncomfortable even at that hour in this sort of deal. almost like 76/74 at that hour... but the atm is so prime to heating as soon as mere daylight begins to flood over the eastern horizon - talkin' before the actual suns sideways its rays along the tree tops - the temp will tend to start rising. it'll probably be 85 by 8:45 ... i wouldn't want to do a run much later than that.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 the euro and ukmet aren't in any hurry to dismantle the WAR arm onto the MA for third run and i'm wondering how quickly this all ends ... don't perceive an all conclusive sweeping fropa there, as heights may linger and cause swamp-ass frontalysis with lingering +1 SD 850 anomalies from PWM to DCA Mon-Wed next week.

OceanStWx Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 On 8/9/2016 at 9:44 AM, eekuasepinniW said: BTV must have just adopted them because I've seen "humid" and "less humid" in use for many years. I haven't noticed "more humid" in actual use before, so I'm a little jelly. I dug through the code, so I promise you if our forecast meets that criteria our ZFP will read "more humid" for you. On 8/9/2016 at 11:37 AM, powderfreak said: Thanks for the response...that makes sense. Are those parameters that can be set differently by NWS offices depending on where they are in the country? Ie. Mobile, Alabama doesn't have it show "Humid" until the daily average is over 70F or 75F dews, because mid-60s is actually a dry day there? lol. Exactly. You can change the default trigger for "humid" to whatever you want. I'm guessing most will leave the +/- 10 as the trigger for more or less humid though.

Isotherm Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 12z Euro continues to rebuild the WAR in the D6+ period. Looks to me like brief cooling Tues-Thurs before I-95 heats up once again nearing 8/19. If the ECMWF is correct with the trough dipping into the Rockies/NW Plains, that will be another fairly classic heat set-up going into the following week.

You can see how dews don't drop much below 70 right thru day 10. Whereas temps will drop below 90 after Saturday.Sunday.

As long as trough stays in MW..we just stay massively humid Yes, high dews will definitely be the major story, not extreme heat (although there may be the occasional day of 95 or greater in the big cities). It certainly does not look like a cooler than normal pattern for late August; at the very least, biased above normal. It's going to be tough to beat the upcoming period of consecutive high dew point days, but we'll have frequent similar intrusions if the WAR remains in place into Sept.
